Today's best bets, by Greg Wood

Kempton comes to the rescue of the levy this afternoon with both Carlisle and Leicester having succumbed to the snow. The quality varies somewhat through the card, but the 12-furlong handicap is an interesting and competitive race, with King Olav, the top-weight, racing off a mark of 94 and several runners arriving off the back of good recent runs.

Iron Condor (4.50), who gets weight from the entire field, is the one to back here. He has improved in his last two starts over course and distance, and is up just 4lb for the latest success earlier this month, which he was not all out to achieve. This is a step up from class five to class three, but one that he can take in his stride.

The Happy Hammer (5.50) has also made a solid start to the all-weather season, while Dvinsky (5.20), arguably one of the most consistent horses in training, might be able to get the lead from stall nine and will be a fair price at around 8-1 if he does.
